If you’re seeing the error “The Game Version You Are Using Is Out of Date” in Minecraft Bedrock Edition, it typically means that the version of the game you are running is not compatible with the version of the server you’re trying to connect to.
This can happen when there’s an update to Minecraft Bedrock that hasn’t been applied, or when you’re trying to play on a server that requires a different game version.
Here are some quick fixes to resolve this issue:
1. Update Minecraft Bedrock Edition (Mobile, Console, or Windows 10)
For Mobile (iOS and Android):
iOS: Go to the App Store and check for updates for Minecraft.
Android: Open the Google Play Store, search for Minecraft, and tap the Update button if there’s an update available.
For Windows 10 (PC):
Open Microsoft Store.
Click on the three dots at the top-right corner and select Downloads and updates.
Click Get updates, and if Minecraft is listed, click Update.
For Xbox:
Go to the Microsoft Store on your Xbox and check for updates.
Alternatively, you can go to My Games & Apps > Updates, and if Minecraft is listed, select Update.
For Nintendo Switch:
Go to the Home Menu and select Minecraft.
Press + or – to open the options and select Software Update.
For PlayStation:
Go to your Game Library and highlight Minecraft.
Press the Options button and select Check for Updates.

2. Check Server Version (if playing multiplayer)
If you’re trying to connect to a multiplayer server, ensure that the server is up to date. Servers might require players to use a specific version of Minecraft Bedrock Edition. Here’s how to check:
If you’re the server owner: Make sure your server software is updated to the latest version.
If you’re joining someone else’s server: Confirm that the server host has the latest version of Minecraft. You may need to wait for them to update the server or contact them about the version mismatch.
3. Clear Cache (on consoles and mobile devices)
Sometimes, clearing your cache can help fix update-related issues:
For Xbox/PlayStation:
Close Minecraft.
Turn off the console completely.
Power it back on after a minute.
Open Minecraft again and check for updates.
For Mobile Devices (Android/iOS):
Go to your device’s settings.
Find Minecraft in your list of apps.
Choose Storage and click Clear Cache.
Restart the game and check for an update.
4. Restart Minecraft and Your Device
Close Minecraft and restart the app. Sometimes a simple restart will prompt the game to check for updates.
Restart your device to ensure any pending updates are fully installed.
5. Check for Beta Participation
If you’re part of the Minecraft Beta on any platform (especially on Xbox or Windows), it might cause compatibility issues with regular Minecraft versions. Here’s how to leave the beta:
For Xbox and Windows:
Open the Xbox Insider Hub app (on Windows or Xbox).
Go to Insider Content and select Minecraft.
Select Leave under the Minecraft beta.
Restart your console or PC, and update Minecraft to the latest version.
6. Reinstall Minecraft
If the issue persists after updating, you may need to reinstall Minecraft to make sure you’re on the latest version and clear any corrupted files:
Uninstall Minecraft from your system.
Reinstall it from the official platform (Microsoft Store for Windows, App Store for iOS, Google Play for Android, etc.).
Launch the game and ensure it’s the latest version.
These fixes should help you resolve the “The Game Version You Are Using Is Out of Date” error.
